About the 'Robokid V. East Village' video

You may have seen this video yesterday of 7-year-old East Village resident Jakob Kraus making the rounds (viral, woot!) ... I first spotted it on AnimalNY.

Today, the Daily News talks to boy's father ...

"He's a completely self-taught kid who loves to dance," said Matthew Kraus, who pointed out that he and his wife never pushed their son to dance. The idea behind the videos — there are five — is all Jakob's, according to the News.
